Building my app "Noob Alert!"

Hammooooody · March 26, 2018, 4:09pm

I have been trying the whole day to build this app using ionic build android

I don’t find an APK file in my app folder. In face there’s no build folder in platforms\android

Kindly assist!

C:\Apps\app10>ionic build android
[WARN] ionic build is for building web assets and takes no arguments. See ionic build --help.

       Ignoring argument android. Perhaps you meant ionic cordova build android?

What am i doing wrong?

This message here is important. ionic build is for PWA/web building. The command you want is what the message says, ionic cordova build android

DanielAccorsi · March 26, 2018, 4:15pm

Try ionic doctor check to verify if your project is ok.
Then, you need to add platform to project, using ionic cordova add platform android (or ios).
Then build it, using ionic cordova build android

Thank you @SigmundFroyd this was real progress for me. but now i get this error

I didn’t understand this

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

run what with ‘–stacktrace’ or am I looking at it wrongly? I apologies for my Noobiness

SigmundFroyd · March 26, 2018, 4:26pm

This looks like the source of your issues. Have you installed the Android SDK & build tools 'n wot?

Hammooooody · March 26, 2018, 4:40pm

Thank you for your response @DanielAccorsi, i did the ‘ionic doctor check’ and it returned this:

       An update is available for Ionic Native (4.5.3 => 4.6.0). To fix, the following step(s) need to be taken:

            1) Run: npm i --save -E @ionic-native/core@4.6.0
            2) Run: npm i --save -E @ionic-native/splash-screen@4.6.0
            3) Run: npm i --save -E @ionic-native/status-bar@4.6.0


? Fix automatically? Yes
> npm i --save -E @ionic-native/core@4.6.0
√ Running command - done!
> npm i --save -E @ionic-native/splash-screen@4.6.0
√ Running command - done!

√ Running command - done!
[WARN] Bundle ID unchanged in config.xml.

       The "bundle identifier" is a unique ID (usually written in reverse DNS notation, such as com.mycompany.MyApp)
       that Cordova uses when compiling the native build of your app. When your app is submitted to the App Store or
       Play Store, the bundle ID can't be changed. This issue was detected because this app's bundle ID is
       "io.ionic.starter", which is the default bundle ID provided after running ionic start. To fix, take the following
       step(s):

            1) Change the id attribute of <widget> (root element) to something other than "io.ionic.starter"

       Ignore this issue with: ionic doctor ignore default-cordova-bundle-id-used

Fixed 1 issue!
2 issues need to be fixed manually.

Then i tried this:

C:\Apps\app10>ionic doctor ignore git-not-used
[OK] Ignored issue git-not-used

C:\Apps\app10>

@SigmundFroyd I did, didn’t I?

DanielAccorsi · March 26, 2018, 4:51pm

Remember that you need to change the default id to your own, ok? This is not an error, but a warning.

Hammooooody · March 26, 2018, 5:24pm

YES ! it worked.
I just went to Android Studio, then to SDK Manager then ticked Show Package Details then added 27.0.3 under Android SDK Build-Tools 28-rc1. then Installed it.

Then I ran ‘ionic cordova build android’
Process went on, till APK was created at the end
Thank you @SigmundFroyd and @DanielAccorsi!! Really appreciate it!
